After the deluge of Atrax Morgue reissues, it was a matter of time to see Corbelli's influence spread once again, this time all over the newer generation of artists and listeners. Of course, Maso Yamazaki is a living legend, but his latest project, Controlled Death, feels like a rejuvenating move. I dare to say an enthusiastic one. Even if it's morbid as fuck.

These two albums don't stray from the Slaughter Productions recipe, especially the Deathwish Tapes, which was recorded straight to tape with no overdubs. Masonna now uses sparingly a newfound black metal howl instead of his usual shrieks, but stays within well-defined death industrial parameters. On the other hand, Journey Through A Dead Body is not a nod to TG as its title suggests, but rather an autonomous entity that may has some borrowed limbs, but its voice is entirely singular.
